In one of the bewildering number of Starbucks ofFDupont Circle, Jeff Bezos, iconoclast lead er of the mega online e-tailer Amazon.com, and John Poindexter, then director of the Pentagon's Office of Information Awareness, meet. Bezos orders a low-fat latte. Poindexter, ex-Regan national security advisor and a convicted felon charged with lying to Con gress and obstruction of justice, takes an Americano (of course). Poindexter gets right to the point. Poindexter: \"Jeff, we have a problem. The world has changed dramatically. During the years I was in the White House it was relatively simple to identify our intelligence collection targets. Today, the most serious asymmetric threat facing the United States is terrorism, a threat characterized by collections of people loose ly organized in shadowy networks that are difficult to identify and define and whose goals are the destruction of our way of life. The intelligence collection targets are thousands of people whose iden tities and whereabouts we do not always know. It is somewhat analogous to the antisubmarine warfare problem of finding sub marines in an ocean of noise—we must find the terrorists in a world of noise, to understand what they are planning, and develop options for preventing their attacks. I think the solution is largely associated with information technology. We must become much","PeriodicalId":338053,"journal":{"name":"Social thought & research","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115973630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gamson's lecture addressed the recent media hits \"Queer Eye for the Straight Guy\" and \"Boy Meets Boy\" as a means to discuss the new \"Gay Tele-Visibility.\" Like the experience of most marginal ized groups, the depiction of homosexuality on television has a torrid past. Suffering from a lack of cultural visibility, cast as vil lains or ill, depicted as full of self-hate, and as sexual predators, media representation of gays, lesbians and trans-gender individu als meant that organizing for basic rights was difficult at best. While these are no longer the primary depictions of gay men, Gamson's point in this piece is to illustrate that cultural visibility is not with out its problems. The celebration of gayness in television in recent years is certainly preferable to being cast as demons, yet televi sion prompts the question \"If heterosexuality depends in part on its opposite, and homosexual difference is no longer so reliable, what happens to the straight man and his supposed superiority? \" (Gamson, 2005:5) The answer resides in the \"difference-game\" where determining the sexuality of characters, real or fiction, is the key theme of the show. The answer to the difference game lies in the characterization of gay men as master consumers and in structors of upper middle class status. This \"difference,\" argues Gamson is celebrated by current television programs while simul taneously \"normalizing\" a particular segment of the gay popula tion. Gay tele-visibility, defined as the presence of gay men/char","PeriodicalId":338053,"journal":{"name":"Social thought & research","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125158025","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their TV show, \"Queer Eye for the Straight Guy,\" had quickly become a hit for the cable network Bravo, whose partner NBC then also picked up the program. In each episode the Fab 5 take a slovenly heterosexual man and give him and his space a makeover, just in time for the straight guy to impress his girlfriend, potential girlfriend, wife, or womankind more generally. The Fab 5, each of whom has a special exper tise—grooming, culture, food and wine, interior decorating, and fashion—are funny, warm, and witty. Straight men thank the Fab 5 profusely, praise them to their friends, and hug them; straight women gush about and around them. They have appeared on NBC's \"The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,\" \"Oprah,\" the MTV Video Music Awards, and the season premiere of the NBC sitcom \"Good Morning, Miami.\" They have been parodied on Fox's \"Mad TV,\" and inspired a Comedy Central take-off, \"Straight Plan for the Gay Man.\" \"Queer Eye\" has often drawn over 3 million viewers, more than twice the number of viewers any Bravo show had pre viously attracted, often beating out the major networks for view ers; when NBC first aired it, the show drew 7 million viewers and tied for first in its time slot among 18-49-year-old viewers (Wein raub and Rutenberg 2003). In 2004, NBC ran a \"Queer Eye\" mar athon on Super Bowl Sunday. \"Queer Eye for the Straight Girl,\" a spinoff, will begin airing in 2005. Bravo has sold the show to twenty countries (della Cava 2004).","PeriodicalId":338053,"journal":{"name":"Social thought & research","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130340534","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Globalization and climate change theories can be categorized as economic, political, and cultural on one dimension, and on another dimension as emphasizing the conflicts between the global and national/local levels, the dominance of the global, or the hybrids and pastiches created by mixing the global and local. Climate change, as an issue that creates and is created by a global sense of the world, is bound up in both its analysis and its policy proposals with the same issues that confront globalization theorists. The proliferation of theories and analyses in globalization and climate change reflects the emerging nature of both areas of social scientific thought. Activities and 'flows are changing too rapidly to be satisfactorily categorized and mapped. Moreover, there are no clear advantages to one form of action, since all phenomena are multifaceted, with bundled positive, neutral, and negative characteristics. However, the very explosion of ideas and proposals reflects the energy and willingness to seek future directions that will bring increased well-being for both humans and the environment.","PeriodicalId":338053,"journal":{"name":"Social thought & research","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115113528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
